I was surpised by this. It seems that with the advance of knowledge some
features of Ethereal programming become deprecated. Would it be a good
idea to collect these deprecated methods on a Wiki page, like
Development/Deprecated? The items could be summed up, provided with
rationale and possibly with reference to the related janator project.

Thanx,
